How to create a task group folder using VBA?

[Exopad]

Hi,

I want to create a new task group folder in Outlook using VBA from Excel.

I'm able to create subfolders within the 'My Tasks' group, however I want to add a new group at the same level as My Tasks....

Code:

When I use the .Parent property in the GetDefaultFolder, the new folder is added in the InboxFolder....

What do I have to do to get this added in as a new Task Group Folder?

Thanks,

Folders.Add has an optional Type parameter.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ice.14%29.aspx

expression .Add(Name, Type)

Type: The Outlook folder type for the new folder. If the folder type is not specified, the new folder will default to the same type as the folder in which it is created. Can be one of the following OlDefaultFolders constants: olFolderCalendar, olFolderContacts, olFolderDrafts, olFolderInbox, olFolderJournal, olFolderNotes, or olFolderTasks. The constants olFolderConflicts, olFolderDeletedItems, olFolderJunk, olFolderLocalFailures, olFolderManagedEmail, olFolderOutbox, olFolderRssSubscriptions, olFolderSentMail, olFolderServerFailures, olFolderSyncIssues, olFolderToDo, and olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders cannot be specified for this argument."

Skatonni, I don;t think that;s what is being asked here.

I also am trying to solve a similar problem. How do you use VBA to create a new task folder in a specific GROUP. NB, this is different to creating a new task folder in a specific folder.

Exopad wants to create a new group, I want to create a folder inside a group. Either way, what is the VBA language required to handle groups? So far all I have found online is about setting up new folders in specific folders (e.g. olFolderTasks). Does anyone know the answer to this?

Appears the question is about the Navigation pane. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib.../ff864204.aspx If so and you post code I might learn something.
